What is Bill C-51?
Canadian patriot act. Allows mass surveillance, free sharing of private information (including with foreign governments), gives our spy agency the power to do more than just watch and listen, and lets them ask for warrants to violate the charter of rights and freedoms in the case that maybe possible there could be a relation to terrorism and/or a threat to Canadian security. Which the RCMP already released documents that said if you believe in climate change then you're an anti-petroleum dissident and threaten our security. All this with the added benefit of exactly zero additional oversight or review processes. This is giving power to an agency that already lobbied the Canadian government to allow them to pass their own laws governing their conduct without asking for permission.
Short: Says goodbye privacy and goodbye rights.
